A mat body may be made of multiple laminated layers, with edges of an outer layer forming a joint distal from the mat edges on a surface where a user of mat lies down, or the reverse surface thereof.

1. Bedding comprising a mat and a sleeping bag placed over and attached along an upper surface of the mat, wherein:
 the mat has two first engaging members of the mat and two second engaging members of the mat, with a single first engaging member of the mat located in or along the upper surface at each of two first corners of the mat, and a single second engaging member of the mat located in or along the upper surface at each of two second corners of the mat that differ from the two first corners of the mat; 
 the sleeping bag has first engaging members of the sleeping bag adapted to engage with the second engaging members of the mat, with a first engaging member of the sleeping bag being located near each of the two first peripheral positions of the sleeping bag; 
 the sleeping bag has second engaging members of the sleeping bag adapted to engage with the first engaging members of the mat, with a second engaging member of the sleeping bag being located near each of the two second peripheral positions of the sleeping bag; and 
 the first engaging members of the mat engage with the second engaging members of the sleeping bag, and the second engaging members of the mat engage with the first engaging members of the sleeping bag, thereby connecting the mat and the sleeping bag together; 
 wherein the mat and the sleeping bag are devoid of additional engaging members corresponding in type to the first or second engaging members, other than the first or second engaging members disposed in or along the upper surface at multiple corners of the mat and disposed near the peripheral positions of the sleeping bag; and 
 wherein the first engaging members differ in type from the second engaging members. 
 
     
     
       2. The to sleeping bag of  claim 1 , wherein each first engaging member comprises a hole and each second engaging member comprises a toggle fastened with a string and adapted for insertion into the hole of a first engaging member.

The sleeping bag of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of each first engaging member of the sleeping bag and at least a portion of each second engaging member of the sleeping bag is disposed proximate to the upper surface of the mat when the sleeping bag is placed along the upper surface of the mat. 
     
     
       4. Bedding comprising a mat and a sleeping bag placed over and attached along an upper surface of the mat, wherein:
 the mat has four corners and four first engaging members, with a single first engaging member located in or along the upper surface at each corner of the four corners of the mat, 
 the sleeping bag has four peripheral positions and four second engaging members, with one second engaging member located at each peripheral position of the four peripheral positions of the sleeping bag, with the second engaging members being adapted to engage the first engaging members of the mat; 
 the first engaging members of the mat engage with the second engaging members of the sleeping bag, thereby connecting the mat and the sleeping bag together; 
 the first engaging members differ in type from the second engaging members; and 
 the mat and the sleeping bag are devoid of additional engaging members corresponding in type to the first or second engaging members, other than the first or second engaging members disposed in or along the upper surface at the four corners of the mat and disposed at the four peripheral positions of the sleeping bag. 
 
     
     
       5. The to sleeping bag of  claim 4 , wherein each first engaging member comprises a hole and each second engaging member comprises a toggle fastened with a string and adapted for insertion into the hole of a first engaging member. 
     
     
       6. The sleeping bag of  claim 4 , wherein at least a portion of each second engaging member is disposed proximate to the upper surface of the mat when the sleeping bag is placed along the upper surface of the mat.
